The Baltimore Sun reports the Raiders are expected to sign free agent T/G Rodger Saffold "for roughly $8 million per year."

I was really hoping we'd sign him and an LT, like most around here. Looks like Zack Martin's stock just went up.

At that price I think they are signing him at left tackle...big mistake IMO if that's where they project him every down...

At that price they Should keep the even better LT they already have

Good to see the Raiders are as poorly run as ever.

God have mercy on those fans.

Heard on NFL Radio with Pat Kirwan that Veldeer wants 12 million or so.

I hope we're thinking about Asamoah, Schwartz, and Strief.

Schwartz and Strief are Tackles but very capable of moving into G and their respective teams are in tight money spots. Hickey would score points for me on this.

Saffold as LT no thanks.

I really like Safford he has great versatility. wanted him to come here to play, RT or G and in an injury situation step in at LT. that said the Raiders are looking to pay him LT money at $8m and he is not worth that. let Oakland have him at that price.

Cool let them take him so we can go out and sign Asamoah.

good i didnt want saffold anyways.... too much of an injury concern for a player wanting 8 mil +
